Obituary of Sallie Lou Shirah Luckey 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 18 Sep 1925.  

Camilla, Georgia.  Many friends all over the county were saddened by the 
death of Mrs. W.M. Luckey, which took place Saturday night at about 11:00 PM at the 
home of the deceased in Pleasant Hill community.  Mrs. Luckey's illness began with a 
severe attack of pneumonia several months ago. She never recovered from the effects of 
it, her strength gradually waning until the end.  Funeral services were held at Pleasant 
Hill church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J.G. Graham, a large number of friends 
and relatives attending the services.  Mrs. Luckey was before her marriage, Miss Sallie 
Shirah.  she was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A.G. Shirah, and was born and 
reared at the family home near Flint.  She was one of eleven (11) girls having no 
brothers. She was happily married about thirteen (13) years ago to Mr. W.M. Luckey, 
who survived her with five little boys.  Mrs. Luckey was thirty-eight years of age at the 
time of her death.  She was a woman of devoted Christian character and the many 
activities of a loving wife, mother, sister and neighbor made up her life of quiet service. 
She was converted early in life and united with the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of which 
she was a loyal member until her death. Besides the heartbroken husband and children, 
the deceased leaves the following sisters:  Mrs. W.D. Adams, Mrs. G.W. Faircloth, Mrs. 
Morgan Mansfield, Mrs. Braid Williams, Mrs. Floyd Fowler, Mrs. Miles Mansfield, Mrs. 
Carl Rackley and Mrs. Clarence Vines, all of Mitchell County.
